AG Anagram vs variant

AG Anagram is an app for discovering anagrams. An anagram is a reordering of the letters in a word, phrase, or name. For example: Elvis — Lives Dormitory — Dirty room Twelve plus one — Eleven plus two Choir man — Harmonic Debit card — Bad credit AG Anagram makes it easy to discover new anagrams of your own. Simply enter a word, phrase, or name into the search box and tap Search. AG Anagram will search for anagrams of the text you entered and display them in a scrolling list. Try anagramming your own name, or the names of friends and family. For more variety, try them with and without middle names. There is no need to choose the number of words the anagrams should contain ahead of time — AG Anagram will automatically find anagrams containing any number of words, and since anagrams consisting of fewer words tend to be pithier, those are shown first. All you need to do is to pick out the best ones, and possibly improve on the ordering of the words. For example, if you type in "a gentleman", AG Anagram will show you a list of anagrams that includes "man elegant", but you could improve on this by changing the order of the words to "elegant man". AG Anagram uses a dictionary of English words, so even though you may enter non-English words, the anagrams will be in English.

variant:cascade is an audiovisual artwork that creates beautiful, ever-changing music and imagery. The app combines user input and built-in randomness to create images and music that will continually change, grow and evolve, offering a new and different experience every time. For users of all ages, variant:cascade is a chance to explore and experience a unique work of generative art. variant:cascade was specifically designed to take advantage of the 3D Touch sensor on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus: increased pressure on the phone’s screen will intensify and transform the visual and musical experience. To interact with variant:cascade, draw a line with your finger on the screen and the visuals will respond to your drawing. Pressing more deeply on the 3D Touch screen will change the width and speed of the visuals as well as transform the music. (Users on devices without 3D Touch can vary how much of their finger touches the screen to trigger this effect.) You can use multiple fingers to interact with variant:cascade, and each will independently influence the visuals and music. You can view the indeterminate audio engine by tapping the dot in the lower right. The display shows the different elements of the musical composition as they are loaded by the engine through a combination of chance and user input. The center button opens a menu of settings for the app, and the button to the right allows you to take screenshots of the visuals, automatically saving them to your photo library. The Variant apps are a new series of generative audiovisual artworks from Interval Studios featuring visuals by Joshue Ott and music by Kenneth Kirschner. Each Variant features a unique visual composition by Ott based on his superDraw visual performance software, as well as a new indeterminate musical composition by Kirschner. Each Variant app also offers a different set of interactive controls for the user, ranging from the ability to subtly influence the development of the piece to total interactive control over both visuals and sound. All of the Variants are generative artworks: through a varying combination of built-in randomness and user input, each Variant will continually grow and evolve over time without ever directly repeating itself either visually or musically, offering the user an ever-changing, ever-evolving audiovisual experience.
